[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about giving cyclists and joggers windows in the day? Before 7 am, after 6 pm? And the exception is cyclists commuting.[/quote]

So you haven't gone for a walk in 12 years, and now you want to give the runners and cyclists rules? Unbelievable sense of entitlement much?[/quote]

So, why can't cyclist and joggers be put in a window not to oppose pedestrians? There may be something here?

Cyclists and runners seem unwilling to give pedestrians a bit of a wide berth, so why not give them the whole road during a window. Everybody is happy that way. Who are you saying is entitled? The pedestrians, cyclists, or runners???[/quote]

Or we can try a much simpler solution, namely: giving people more space, whether they're walking, running, or biking. As you know, there is much less traffic these days. People in cars will be just fine if we give some road space to walkers/runners/bicyclists.[/quote]

This actually does not solve anything. Cyclists and runners like dying on the hill of they are entitled to both. WHICH THEY ARE. I think we are just pleading for some common sense here. We don't need to ban all vehicular traffic. There is barely any as it is. I think that we can all use the sidewalks and streets to stay safe. I just think that to make things easier for ALL OF US and to remove as much uncertainty as possible, we can have pedestrians to to the 'right' side of the street on the sidewalk as much as possible. Have cyclists and joggers pass in the street giving pedestrians as much room as possible and everybody uses the street and meneuver space to accommodate those cases when we simply need more space. We can do this without falling on our pre Corona cyclist Vs Automobile tropes. [/quote]
